The Policies and Procedures Manual contains rules for determining and allocating costs. The parties shall use good faith efforts to discuss any situation in which the actual charge for a service is reasonably expected to exceed the estimated charge, if any, set forth in a Service Level Agreement, provided, however, that charges incurred in excess of any such estimate shall not justify stopping the provision of, or payment for, services under this Agreement. ServiceCo shall establish its charges based on the following principles: 1. The price charged for each service or product will be the same as that charged any other CenterPoint business unit for like services or products at like volumes (if volume discount pricing is applicable); 2. The price charged for each service or product shall not include, either directly or indirectly through allocation, any costs which generally are not allowed to be recovered through utility rates (e.g. legislative advocacy expenses); 3. The price charged for each service or product shall reflect only those costs, including labor, incurred by Service Co, either directly or indirectly, which are reasonable and necessary to provide such service or product; and 4. To the extent the price charged for each service or product reflects an allocation of costs incurred, ServiceCo will endeavor to ensure that such allocation reasonably approximates the actual costs incurred in providing that service or product.
